The McGregor Fund is dedicated to relieving misfortune and promoting the well-being of humankind, focusing primarily on the metropolitan Detroit area. It aims to embody the values of its founders, Tracy and Katherine McGregor, by strengthening essential resources and opportunities for community members, especially those facing persistent poverty.
The McGregor Fund grants aim at supporting nonprofit organizations that provide basic needs and housing, help with recovery and restoration from traumatic circumstances, and offer skill-building and employment opportunities. Emphasizing metropolitan Detroit, the Fund prioritizes high-quality, dignified, and culturally aligned services such as food, shelter, aid to navigate social supports, trauma-informed interventions, and programs leading to employment or personal growth for those affected by poverty and inequity. Types of support include project, operating, and capital grants, primarily for initiatives that can leverage additional funding and demonstrate potential for high impact within the Fund’s areas of focus.
